Registry questions... for the vets

So, I think we have our registry pretty much under way. Biggest thing I was wondering was how many onesies (per size) should I think to register for. Also, what about bottles? I registered for 3 5oz and 6 9oz bottles.... Just not sure what to go for. I really want to BF, but I have Crohn's so if I am not able to, I just want to be prepared.

Thanks in advance!

And just an FYI.... It seems almost all of Target's baby department is on clearance... we got an adorable outfit for less then $3!

I didn't use onesies all that much when DD was a newbie. First, I used side tie or snap T-shirts until the cord stump fell off. I found onesies much more useful when DD was a little older, maybe a few weeks old. I just found it difficult to hold the baby, get the onesie on her and pulled down.

It depends on your child. If your child spits up a lot, you'll want more. DD didn't so I pretty much used one or two per day. Six or eight were probably enough for me. You would need more if your baby spits up a lot.

I like onesies a lot for babies a little older until they get moving a lot. I quit using them when DD was about a year old.

I wouldn't even register for clothing. People will buy whatever clothes they want to without even looking at your registry. They will buy lots of clothes. I also agree about the side closing t shirts for the very beginning. So much easier. Trying to put shirts over their heads is rough in the first couple weeks.

I agree with 0george0 most people buy whatever clothing they want for you. But putting a few packs on there wouldn't hurt. As for bottles, when you get them do not open all the packages just in case you LO does not like them or is really colic. My sister went thru a few different bottles before she found one that worked for my nephew, every baby is different. I was lucky that DD took to the ones I gave her but again that's not always the case. HTH

I don't even put down onesies or bottles. Bottles will mainly depend on the need/wants of the baby. Most ppl I know had to do a trial and error before knowing the best bottles. And as far as clothes, people pick out what they think is cute. It brings the fun into baby gift buying. It won't be "what you want".

Babies get changed quite a bit in the beginning. I would say, and whether it's a onesie or t-shirts, it's up to you; get about 12nb or so... about three changes a day (sometimes, not always, but sometimes). I like the open up t-shirts myself for the first two weeks while the button falls off. I don't clean it, I don't do anything to it, I just wait for it to fall off. It's sometimes not recommended to clean but the less struggling you do with baby's flailing arms, the better so as not to detach it too soon and cause a herniated navel. It gets creepy looking but don't let it freak you out.. all par for the course. With my first, I thought her guts were coming out of her button LOL. Anyway, open up t-shirts are just easier to get on and off. Bottles are always strange for me. I did the playtex with drop ins. More sanitary in my opinion. They actually come in gift pack sizes of about six or something. Usually two 4 ounces and four 8ounce sizes. I don't have any bottles anymore so I'm just pulling from memory. Get lots of sleepers! (the whole body suit outfit). Ok, husband's up.. time to get off here lol.

I discovered that my little girl is so picky about bottles that it was pointless to have them. I had to buy 1 of 10 different kinds to find anything that she would take and then it only lasted a little while...

I wouldn't register for too many bottles in case your baby is picky too.

As for onesies, it depends on your kid. I rarely used the white ones. We went through LOTS of outfits because Lily constantly spit up and had blow outs. However, from newborn -6 months we used mostly sleepers because it was easier. Then used long sleeve because of the time of year, then had 5 onesies for summer.

At the beginning we went through 7 outfits a day due to spit up =P You never know what your baby will like and need. I actually got a bunch of onesies for 10 cents at garage sales so I have a lot for baby #2. =)
